Some things like the internet we take for granted.
Have you ever considered what it means to someone who is homeless?
It's a great tool to communicate with family, look for jobs, find resources.
I know there are a lot of misconceptions out there.
I used to wonder how does a homeless person have a phone?
How can they afford one?
Now a days that can't afford to be without.
If they own one it usually becomes a priority to keep it paid up.
Things like smartphones, tablets, and laptops can be life lines.
They are a means to communicate.
I even know a guy who writes a blog on a regular basis.

I never imagined texting my homeless friends.
What would you do without your smartphone or the internet?
The same answer you came up with is true for the homeless.
Times have changed and we need to educate ourselves.
